Adopt a tetrad
Adopting a Tetrad
One of the main aims of NatureSpot is to encourage widespread nature recording across the whole of Leicestershire and Rutland. At the moment we have received no records at all from quite a lot of areas. In an attempt to remedy this we are now asking all of our users to ‘adopt’ an unrecorded tetrad (2 km x 2 km square) during 2015 and to record as many species as possible from their chosen area – even common species such as Daisy and Hawthorn. In this way we can begin to map the distribution of species across the two counties.
To facilitate this, we have listed below the tetrads from which no records have been received. Amazingly there are 236 of them, so you should have no difficulty in finding one that is convenient to you. Having chosen a likely square you can visit the map on the 'Grab a Grid' (link below) and tick the box on the right of the page marked ‘2km square’. Now enter the tetrad reference from our list into the box marked ‘Go to’ and click ‘Go’ – the map will now show the boundaries of your chosen tetrad in a pink box. Remember where your tetrad crosses county boundaries, try and restrict your recording to remain within Leicestershire or Rutland!!!
Visit the Grab A Grid map.
Anyone is welcome to submit records for any of these areas but let us know if you are willing to visit and we will add your name below. It doesn't matter what you record, even common species would be a good start.
